斯道無他、即天主自始所蘊藏之玄妙、至今始顯示於諸聖、命其弘宣於萬邦者也。斯玄妙乃無窮景福之寶庫、而光榮希望之靈淵；即寓爾心中之基督是也。吾人之所宣揚者、基督也；所以勸人教人、啟人智慧者、亦基督也。務使人人托基督而成完人、俾得獻之於天主之前、

惟天主能堅定爾等信心、使爾等與我所傳之福音及耶穌基督之聖道中、能確立不搖。斯道也、即有世以來所蘊藏之玄妙、今則據先知之書、按天主之聖謨、而揭曉啟示、宣揚於天下萬民令其翕然歸於一信；全智全哲、實惟天主，願其因耶穌基督而享受光榮、永世靡暨、心焉祝之！

我蒙特達之啟示、得悉天主奧旨；此於本書前段、已約略述及、爾等讀之、即可見吾於基督之玄妙、實有所悟矣。自有世以來、斯玄妙之旨、未曾啟迪於人。今則已因聖神而明示其諸聖宗徒、及先知先覺之人矣。斯旨無他、即因福音之傳、而萬邦之人、已得於基督耶穌庇蔭之下、同為嗣子、融成一體、共享恩諾是已。天主運用其大能、賜我恩寵、令我得供役於福音。夫我乃諸聖中之至微者、竟亦蒙此殊恩、得在異邦人中弘宣基督不可思議之厚澤、使舉世之人、咸得領會造物主自始隱藏之救世玄謨。

蓋吾人之得因基督而倖成天主之眾嗣者、實由淵然深識、匠心獨運之天主所預定

夫天主之救拔吾人、而授吾人以聖召者、初不憑吾人之功績、乃憑其自己之聖意、與夫在基督耶穌身上、夙所賜於吾人之聖寵也。蓋此聖寵之授予、實在萬世以前；

凡此皆按天主於創世之前所預定之遠謨、因吾主基督耶穌而實現者也。

不寧惟是、吾人亦知人苟能真心愛天主、則天主必使天地萬物同力相助、而亨通之。

嗚呼、聖道之玄妙、不亦浩浩其天、淵淵其淵乎哉！所謂玄妙者無他、即現於肉身、證於聖神、見於天神、傳於兆民、信於普世、而躋於光榮者也。

懇求吾主耶穌基督之天主、光榮之父、賜爾明智、啟爾妙慧、俾爾洞識真主；開爾靈眼、俾明聖召之希望無窮、諸聖光榮嗣業之蘊藏無限、

蓋吾既未受之於人、又非學而知之、惟憑耶穌基督之啟示而已。

按其所悅樂之時、惠然以其聖子啟示吾心、令我傳道於外邦。吾即當機立斷、不屑謀之於血氣肉情、

惟吾人則知之、因天主恆以聖神啟迪吾衷也。聖神洞徹萬事、即天主之堂奧亦無所不窺。蓋知人之事者莫若人之心、知天主之事者亦莫若天主之聖神耳。吾人所受者非世俗之精神、乃天主之聖神；故能領會天主所賜於吾人之一切也。

異邦人聞此、無不竊喜、頌揚主道；凡受命能得永生者、翕然起信、

耶穌曰：『天國之蘊奧、賜爾知之、不賜若輩；

彼按天主之定謨及預知、被付於人而爾曹復假不義者之手、釘死之於十字架上；

以奉行爾所手訂之聖謨者也。

何如主一算。萬古永不易。
